Uh-oh, here comes the gun-control portion of the debate...

...but Hillary says that the "prevailing winds" may prevent extensive gun control laws. She just said she'd go after semi-automatic firearms, too, while still saying that she supports the Second Amendment.

You cannot have registries and semi-auto bans and a Democratic Congress. We learned that the hard way back in 1994.

of the anti-gun people from any kind of registration.

She really has nothing to lose with the gun-lovers. None of them will vote for her anyway.
They don't like Edwards or Obama very much either.

I keep guns and vote progressive. I do not intend to give up either. And I am Legion.

Some good strong pro-RKBA Dems running this year.

An "assault weapon," near as I can figure, is nothing more than a semi-automatic firearm with certain safety features that the gun-control movement feels have no place in civilian hands.

Edited to add: There is still no actual, universal definition of the term.

Some uninformed folks in the media were calling the Glock that Seung-hui Cho used at Virginia Tech last year an "assault weapon." So I guess we'd better be very concerned about that.

THAT is what I think the code words had to mean. Regardless, gun control is a loser both for the Party and myself.

:evilgrin:

I was right 13 years ago when I was against this idiot bill. Expanding is the natural state of government.

that is, when they realize this bill exists, many of them don't know.

:hi:

My father-in-law, a survivor of the Bataan Death March, keeps one of those rifles at home. Under HR 1022, that rifle would be reclassified as an "assault weapon." Blows my freakin' mind.

any magazines over 10rd capacity for semi-auto pistols, just as the '94 ban did.

What a mess.....

Whenever a scenario of how we could possibly lose in Nov coming off the worst administration in history, gun control comes works its way in. At least they realize now it's political suicide, so they've made some progress.

Gun manufacturing is quite lucrative.

and realize it doesn't actually ban a *single* firearm yet causes gun owning independents to run away from them...

the AWB is like trying to ban street car racing by banning red paint or certain shapes of tire rims.

People have a reason to wonder about and be concerned regarding those who think features like bayonet lugs, flash suppressors and 30-round magazines are necessary parts of a firearm.

And if you gun activists want to engage in your inevitable, quadrennial trashing of Democratic candidates, how about taking it back down to the Gun Dungeon? God knows things are fractious enough this time around without such blather.....

:hi:

In case you missed it, this was about a part of the debate that deals with Gun Control. Are you going to throw a hissy fit everytime a gun-related subject comes up elsewhere than the Gungeon and gun owners participate in said thread?

What on earth are you scared of?



"People* have a reason to wonder about and be concerned regarding those who think features like bayonet lugs, flash suppressors and 30-round magazines are necessary parts of a firearm."


Please......Link to any article about a murder in this country that was committed using a bayonet attached to a rifle?

Please.......Link to how many lives have been saved in the last 100 years in this country by banning flash suppressors?

Those people* seem to worry about the strangest things.

Fucking a! :eyes:

But hey, I know you. You're good people, even if we disagree on the gun issue. :hi:

"I'm not so bad, once you get to know me..."

works like a charm.

P.S. use dark glasses if you shoot the "Dragon's Breath" shells at night.


God I like the versatility of the 12ga!
